I reminded the “decision makers” that our summer promotion for membership expires at the end of July and now was the time to join. We love it when our members bring guests to join the club, as we want our club to grow with people just like our current members. If you are looking for a club where the after 5:00 crowd demands a jacket, there are plenty of places like that—we’re not one of those. Our demands are that you enjoy the club, your fellow members, and we will enjoy you back! Our team that serves our membership comes from pedigree backgrounds of top-tier clubs, so we know how those clubs work; we just don’t understand why those clubs do what they do. Membership at Cat Island Club is designed for people who want to relax and enjoy the amenities that we offer. Our current members will be glad to give you a lesson on how to “chill,” they are exceptional at it!
For those of you who wish to utilize the Golden Ticket option on joining the Full Golf Membership, Young Executive Membership (under 40 years old) or Founding Membership categories, time is running out. Who doesn’t like to save $2500 off the Initiation Fees? The Golden Ticket Promotion expires on July 31st, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about membership at CIC. Just in case you were wondering, our membership has shown impressive growth over the past few months. We are humbled by the number of families that now call Cat Island Club home. I had a member tell me last night that they have been here from the beginning (June 2022) as we reconstructed the golf course, clubhouse and pool and they loved watching it all unfold to where we are today. The best part is that we are just getting started!
We talk a lot about families at Cat Island Club. This past week was our final Summer Camp of the season. I was beyond thrilled to receive my very own “special edition” Summer Camp 2024 shirt that all the campers signed. I was not able to accept this precious gift in person, but I want to make sure that all of our young campers hold a special place in my heart, and I will cherish this gift for many years. It may be inappropriate for the golf course, but I will wear it with great pride. Thank you, campers, for not only the shirt but the beautiful benches that you customized for everyone to enjoy. I hope that you’ll take wedding photos on those benches many years from now!
I want to thank our amazing team of staff professionals, Laura, Kelsey, Jeff and Jill—and our amazing arts and crafts coordinators, Charlotte Hoffman and Sheena Jenkins. You’ve not only made a tremendous impact on these youngsters, you’ve warmed the hearts of all of us.
Enjoy the Water Festival this week and when you get too tired to cook, think about relaxing on the Oak Patio with your favorite beverage of choice and a dinner that will exceed your expectations. It may not fit the description of a Soiree, but it will be “life as a Cat Island Club member.”
Be safe everyone and for you golfers out there reading this, “never lay-up.” The thrill of victory is so much sweeter than a sunken golf ball.
With warmest regards,
Tim Mervosh
General Manager
